Hi everyone,

I’ve always stayed away from work relationships for the obvious reasons. But this situation is slightly different in that it’s a guy who I’m working (loosely) with who works for a different company. But we still have to work together hence why I’m being cautious.

I’ve met this guy twice in meetings and I quite like him, the second time I met him a few days ago he did a presentation and when I came into the room before
he started I definitely got the feeling he was perhaps eyeing me up! But I’m still a bit rubbish at reading signs. So I was just friendly and polite.

I sent him a message today just saying thanks for coming to do the presentation (it was partly arranged through myself) and if he got home ok (there was a lot of traffic so he nearly missed his slot). Just polite and friendly really. His response was this:

‘Yes thank you, no problem. Glad it was well recieved and look forward to working with you in the project’

That was it what the hell am I supposed to do with that?! I’m not sure if he read my message as just being friendly, god knows - any idea?

I’m not one for putting myself out there really, but then I don’t want to miss a potential opportunity. I just guess I expected a way for me to continue the conversation and there isn’t one.

Reads as entirely professional to me dude.

Well, maybe that was point - maybe he doesn't want you to do anything with it?

I'd leave it. He knows where you are.

I have no intention of doing anything Smile

He has responded politely and shut the conversation down.

Seems to me he shut you down as quickly and professionally as possible. I would keep my distance so things don't get even more awkward.

He remained professional. For all you know, he is married or living with someone. Leave it at that now.
